Facebook Insights to Analyze Your Facebook Content Marketing

Facebook Insights

Facebook Insights makes it easy to analyze the performance of your content marketing in real time. So much so that I find myself drawn to check on a constant basis.

This is your best source to determine which type of content your audience engages with the most and which to promote. As a rule, I consider a post engaging enough to promote (or continue a promotion) if it is getting 4% – 5% Virality.

Virality

This refers to the percentage of people who have created a story (liked, commented on or shared) from your post out of the total number of unique people who have seen it.
Let’s take a look at each of the different metrics:

Reach

Engaged Users

Talking about this

Reach

Total reach: The number of unique people who have seen your post
Organic: The number of unique people who have seen your post in their News Feed or on your Facebook Page.This includes people who have Liked your page and those that haven’t
Paid: The number of unique people who have seen your post through a paid channel such as a Promoted Post or Promoted Page Post
Viral: The number of unique people who have seen your post because one of their friends interacted with it by liking it, commenting on it or sharing it

Engaged users

Engaged users are the number of unique users who have clicked on your post. Depending on your post type, you can see a complete breakdown of the type of clicks:

Talking About This

Talking About This refers to the number of unique people who have created a story (liked, shared or commented on) from your post. This number is very important in determining the performance of your post: The higher the number of people talking about your post, the more engaged they are with it, and the more they are engaged with your brand.
